Hold on to your bobby socks: A band of bartender converts are stepping up to the seltzer tap, returning us to the era of phosphates and egg creams.

Their fountains may have the Norman Rockwell look down pat, but don’t be fooled: That’s where you’ll find the cool kids–and the cool kids’ kids. –Rachel Sanders
